The case of Julio r. Santos promises soon
to come to the front again to bother the
State Department. The case is one with
which the whole country is familiar since it
has been very generally published and COM
mented upon. The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Times
reviews it, and gives some of its most
important points. Santos is a native of
Ecuador, but has been q citizen of this coun-
try for long time. His father died in
Ecuador few years ago, and he went there
to settle up the estate. He was arrested on
some trumped-up charge and thrown into
filthy dungeon. He asked the protection of
the United States. Secretary Bayard made
several demands for his release, but they
were laughed at by the President of Ecua-
dor Secretary Bayard then called on Secre-
tary Whitney for aid, and several vessels OF
the Pacific squadron were dispatched
to Ecuador with instructions to
release Santos. The President of
Ecuador turned his prisoner over TO the
United States naval officers Mr. Santos
came to this country and had an interview
with Secretary Bayard. He intimated that
he would put in claim for about 500, 900
indemnity The case was placed in the
hands of local attorneys and Santos return
ed to Ecuador to gather testimony. Last
week his attorneys filed long argument
with Secretary Baya'd, in which the claim
for indemnity was placed at $500, 900. The
Secretarys approval of request that the
matter be submitted to arbitration will
opinion that Santos is entitled to some in
demnity, but not so much as he claims. The
attorneys say that they will not be satisfied
with Secretary Bayards consent to arbitra-
ton, but to make the action of the govern
ment more binding, win also endeavor to
secure the approval az the Senate.

The trial OF James Cavauagh for the
murder of Patrick Hayden III Jersey City

discovered that the foreman was insane. He
had been sick several days, and was finally
seized with such severe pains that he he

stopped to give him time to recover.

j. III. Manley, Esq, and Hon. George P.

and Heat Company, have closed contract

ing of 300 horse power for the purpose of
running an electric light dynamo. wheel
will be put in at the east end of the dam and
station building erected. Both systems of
electric light will be introduced, the arc ard
the incandescent, the former for street light
ing and the latter for residences At the
next meeting of the city government petit
ton will be presented from the COM
pany asking for the privilege of erecting poles
in order to furnish the light for any part of
the city. The company has already made
nish them with the electric light. The in
PRODUCTION of electricity into Augusta for
lighting purposes will be hailed with delight
by large number of citizens who have for
long time been looking forward to the
time when this modern luxury and conven-
fence should be obtansble. Augusta has
been behind in this respect, and while big
and little places throughout the State have
been equipped with the light we have been
using gas and kerosene. The use of
gas or electricity will now be optional with
takers, as all, of course, will be given their
choice by the company. Mayor Macomber
has asked the company if they would annul
their contract for lighting the streets with
gas if the city so desired, substituting cleo
tricity and the reply was in the affirmative.
The plant will be completed before snow
flies

IGNORANCE OF THE LAW.
The Government Does Not Build Public
Edifices by Day Work.

1t seems that the New Age ia highly die
Hallowell, was the lowest bidder for supply
ing and laying the stone work for the super
structure of the public building in this city.
Mr.. Plasted displays great ignorance Of the
law regulating the construction of public
buildings, and his petty and personal malice
against any man who is republican, in his
article on the bids for the public building.
The government cannot permit by law the
the foundation of all public buildings is put
in by day work, but the superstructure, under
the law, must be by contract to the lowest
responsible bidder. The Hallowell Granite
has furnished all the granite for
the foundation, and being the lowest
bidder, we do not believe the Treasury De-
partment will assume to violate the law, and
refuse to give the contract to this company.
The New Age SAYS that if this job goes into
the hands of the Hallowell Granite Company,
not a man will be employed who is not a
republican, or who does not swear to vote the
republican ticket. When Mr. Plaisted wrote
this sentence, he was writing what
was absolutely untrue. The Hallowell Gran
lite Company has in its employ to-day many
men who never voted the republican ticket
it never interferes with the political views
of its employees but for the sake of argu-
ment. please tell us, Mr.. Plaisted, why the
Halowell Granite Company has not the right
to employ whom it pleases? Have any repub-
licans been employed on the public building,
so far? We believe that it was a republican
administration which got this public building
we certainly know that it was republicans
who urged Congress to make the appropria-
ton, and we know that it was republican
President vino approved of the sppropria-
ton; and we further know, Mr.. Plaisted
that the republicans are in large majority
in this CITY ana State. Why should they not,
some of them, he employed? If we have
read correctly, this bill, had it been passed
under the administration of Grover Cleve-
land would have been vetoed; but, thanks
for the influence of few active republicans
in this city and in congress, the bill was
psssed and signed under a republican adj
ministration Don't be troubled, Mr.. Plais'
ted Turn your attention in other directions.
